wdl be heard at a public hearing in April Complaints must be sent to the secretary of the Railway Transport Committee within days It is our duty to notify the people they are thinking of cutting off the trams said the deputy reeve There are commuters here and they will have a chance tu object he said but he doubled any action would have effect I feel like the deputy reeve said Councillors Coats Perhaps it is futile and it looks like we will antagonize them a lot further Mayor told council he personally has written a letter to the Railway Transport Committee following a request from a Weston commuter Copies of the letter will be posted on the train The mayor letter read The Secretary Railway Transport Committee Dear Sir 1 wish to take this opportunity to register a definite objection to the withdrawal of trains No and 987 that provide the only commuter service for our people between and Toronto I am speaking out specifically tor the residents of Acton who have had a continuing need for this service and I know they are supported by the others who travel regularly on this route The whole phasing out operation of the CNR from the beginning has been carried out with a flagrant lack of concern for the paying customer and the general public On the same day we learn of the successful bid to withdraw the agent from Acton but that facilities will be kepi clean lighted and warm for passengers while there is a passenger service in operation In the same mail delivery we learn of the bid to withdraw trains and I am at a loss to know how such action can be justified L A Duby Mayor The deputy reeve acknowledged there was a need for the type of commuter service the railway operated but pointed out the CN was losing over a year He felt maybe some other alternate method of providing the service should be considered I agree with Mr Tyler but I amused by the argument of the railway of excellent roads and bus lines to serve the area Councillor Coats observed The analogy is clear There arc other ways of getting money than by urging the use of other service Councillor Marks said the facts were there The service was not justified when it lost large amounts of money Councillor Greer fell taxpayers would be assessed for deficits in other areas where there is a service so it was foolish to lose the service in tins area We re losing time talking Continued on Pope 3
